Puckett then capped a four-hit, three-RBI day by blasting the now-famous walk-off home run off Charlie Leibrandt in the bottom of the 11th. Final score: Twins 4, Braves 3.The next night, in another one of the Carlos Beltran Youth Jersey greatest World Series games ever played, Twins starter and World Series MVP Jack Morris outdueled young John Smoltz, pitching 10 shutout innings, and Gene Larkin's RBI single in the 10th inning gave Minnesota the walk-off win and its second title in five seasons.1987 World Series: Twins beat Cardinals
The 1987 Fall Classic seemed to be destined for home domination from the get-go. After all, the Twins, who had home-field advantage because it was the American League's turn in the old alternating rules, were Chad Green Youth Jersey fantastic in the quirky "Homer Dome" (56-25) and, well, not good at all (29-52) away from it during the regular season.
And so it went, with the Twins winning the first two in Minneapolis then losing the next three to a banged-up Cardinals team in St. Louis. And even though the Cards won Game 5 by a score of 4-2 and took a 3-2 lead in the Series when Danny Cox outpitched future Hall of Famer Bert Blyleven, the club sounded a bit cautious about the impending road trip.
"I feel better now than Chase Headley Youth Jersey if we were down 3-2," St. Louis manager Whitey Herzog said, "but it's a tough place to play up there."
Herzog proved somewhat prophetic, and Minnesota and World Series MVP Frank Viola proved too good in the dome. The Twins pummeled Cardinals starter John Tudor to the tune of six runs on 11 hits in four innings, Chasen Shreve Youth Jersey and by the time lefty starter Viola took the hill for Game 7, skipper Tom Kelly's team was rolling.Viola pitched eight innings of two-run ball in the finale, Jeff Reardon closed out the 4-2 win, and the Twins had won the first World Series championship in franchise history.
So the blueprint is all right there for the Astros, and all they need is one more win at Minute Maid Park.
"We earned that home field," Houston manager A.J. Hinch said. "We had 101 wins for a reason. We don't automatically flush those down the toilet because we lost a couple of games in New York.
"We want our crowd to be loud. We want to take the lead that makes the crowd louder. There will be a big moment, whether it's [Jose] Altuve or [Carlos] Correa or [George] Springer comes up with a big hit and this place will explode.
"And that's why we're going to play at home. Because we earned it."
